I. Q.

Dr. Huddleston telephone the Times, classified ad dept. and dictated an ad for a secretary. One of the qualifications was "I.Q. over 130." After a good deal of spelling out, the ad-taker had it down, but announced that the Times couldn't take an ad "of such obscure meaning." The Dr. said that the people he wanted to answer would understand. Finally he got the Times to run the notice the way he wanted it. One of the young ladies who answered said that she couldn't take 130 words a minute, but felt sure she was fast enough to satisfy the doctor.
